Why a mission center?

• We come to church to join together as the body of
  Christ, because as the body of Christ we can live
  Gods Kingdom in action in our community.
• The congregations come together to form a mission
  center, the living body of Christ, to meeting
  greater needs then we are able to do as a
  congregation.
• The mission centers come together in a world
  community, the living body of Christ, to meet the
  even greater needs of a world-wide community
  proving to the world that peace between nations
  is possible.
